“Hmm?” In mid-air, the old man who was sent flying gritted his teeth and immediately mobilized his internal Qi to steady his body. He didn’t want to fall too awkwardly.
In the end, he flew back to the wooden house and sat down, as if he had been sitting in front of the door and never moved.
A trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
It seemed that he was slightly injured.
Ruan Changhong, who was watching the battle, was astounded. He widened his eyes and stared at Fang Qiu with a look of horror on his face.
“Gu… Guru… Is he a guru?”
As Ruan Changhong knew, his master was already the most powerful person he had ever seen. He never thought that there was someone more powerful than his master in this world.
No matter he was in the Southern Yue or the entire Southeast Region, his master was invincible. He was the legend that countless people acknowledged and the most powerful one in the eyes of countless martial artists!
But now, he witnessed that his master, the sacred existence of the martial arts world in the Southeast Region, was thrown away by a young man who was not even 20 years old from Huaxia.
Moreover, he only gave one blow!
“How is… How is this possible? Run! I must run!” A hint of fierceness flashed across Ruan Changhong’s face. John Doe wanted to kill him, so he had to flee. With his master fighting in front of him, it was very likely that he could escape.
Thinking of this, Ruan Changhong slowly stepped back.
“Haha, haha…” In front of the wooden house, the old man reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then laughed inexplicably. Looking carefully at his eyes, they could see that his eyes were indeed filled with excitement.
The old man could feel that John Doe’s punch was not something that he had improved after eating the Heaven Treasure!
This also proved that John Doe had forcibly broken through to the Guru Realm for a period of time. Obviously, it was because of the forcible breakthrough that John Doe had been hiding his strength and did not dare to fight with all his strength.
Originally, this was bad news for the old man.
After all, even if John Doe forcibly broke through, the sooner he broke through, the stronger he would be. Therefore, it would be harder to fight with him.
However, compared with this bad news, another message greatly excited the old man!
Since Fang Qiu had broken through to the Guru Realm before taking the Heaven Treasure, it meant that Fang Qiu must know the way to break through to the Guru Realm!
The reason why he wanted to break through and become a guru was that he was eager to prolong his life.
“Good, good… Haha.” While laughing excitedly, the old man slammed his hands on the ground, and his whole body immediately rose into the air. Like a sword-shaped light, he tried to attack Fang Qiu fiercely again.
He wanted to make every effort to defeat John Doe.
He wanted to know how John Doe forcibly broke through to the Guru Realm. He could barely wait to become a guru.
At this moment, he was already in a state of madness because he didn’t get much time to live!
“Pa, pa, pa…” In an instant, he rushed to the front of Fang Qiu. The old man attacked wildly with great excitement and fought with Fang Qiu fearlessly.
“Humph!” Fang Qiu snorted. He also noticed that the old man’s physical condition and his unusual state at the moment.
When he was confronted with Fang Qiu’s power, everything he wanted was simply wishful thinking.
After blocking the old man’s crazy strikes, Fang Qiu clenched his right fist again and punched out violently, colliding with the old man’s fist.
“Bang!” A huge blow sounded.
The old man was thrown back by Fang Qiu again.
After he struck the old man, Fang Qiu turned his head and glanced at the front of the wooden house, only to find that Ruan Changhong had run far away.
“Your disciple ran away,” said Fang Qiu to the old man.
“Humph!” The old man snorted at Ruan Changhong who ran away and then said cheerfully, “I don’t care about that loser. It’ll be fine as long as you don’t run away!”
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “My target isn’t you. Get out of the way. I can spare your life. You’re insane!”
“Haha.” As if he had heard a great joke, the old man laughed out loud. He said, “Get out of the way? It took me a lot of effort to catch this glimmer of hope. Do you think I will let you go? I’m not crazy. I want to live a long life.”
He had already detected that if he didn’t reach the Guru Realm, he might not survive this year.
This sense of crisis made him extremely anxious. It was because of this that he had been in seclusion here for several years. His purpose was to make use of the last few years of his life to break through and become a guru. However, it was almost the end of his life, but he still could not do it!
He was anxious. He was also afraid of death because he was only human!
Now, through John Doe, he saw the hope of becoming a guru and continuing to live.
He had no chance to get the Heaven Treasure now.
Then he had to cling to this glimmer of hope in front of him.
Therefore, he would never let Fang Qiu go no matter what he had to do!
He was crazy about prolonging his life. There was nothing wrong with that.
“Kid, you have broken through to be a guru at such a young age. No matter who you are, you must be staggering in this realm. So today, you must die and I’ll live!”
“Humph!” Fang Qiu snorted and ignored him.
His target was Ruan Changhong!
“Swoosh.” Fang Qiu made a move, ignored the old man, and directly chased after Ruan Changhong.
“Don’t even think about leaving!” At this moment, the old man immediately rushed to Fang Qiu and stopped him without hesitation.
Fang Qiu made a counter-attack and continued to chase in the direction of Ruan Changhong’s escape.
However, the old man came again.
Again and again, the old man crazily stopped Fang Qiu!
With the old man’s hindrance, Ruan Changhong ran further and further, and Fang Qiu was temporarily stopped.
“Hiss…” Confronted with the continuous block of the old man, Fang Qiu narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a sigh, “Since you want to die, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
The moment he finished his words, the old man came to strike him again!
It made Fang Qiu furious.
He gave him a chance, but this old man did not listen to him at all.
“Get lost!” Seeing that the old man was about to attack him, Fang Qiu clenched his right hand. In an instant, all the internal Qi in his body gathered on his right arm. Not only did it envelop his fist, but his whole arm was also covered with a dazzling silver light as if flesh and blood had transformed into a body made of steel.
With tremendous force, he punched the old man as he got close to him.
“Bang!” The loud noise of the collision sounded.
As their fists collided, the old man trembled and was once again sent flying far away. While flying backward, he opened his mouth and spat out blood.
“Crack!” His body that was blown away fell on the wooden house like a cannonball. The massive force directly overturned the entire wooden house.
The old man also fell into the pieces of the wooden house!
“Puff…” No sooner had he landed than he spurted another mouthful of blood.
He merely took two moves!
When he took the first blow, he got minor injuries.
When he took the second blow, he was seriously injured and vomited blood, close to death.
Maybe he was frightened by Fang Qiu’s invincible posture, or he felt a real pain from his body. Maybe it was because of the strong smell of blood in his mouth. The old man finally regained his composure.
Looking at Fang Qiu, he was scared!
At this moment, he realized that his previous speculation might be wrong!
It was impossible for a person who had forcibly broken through to the Guru Realm to have such a solid foundation, and it was also impossible for him to show such terrifying combat capability.
John Doe was obviously a guru with a solid foundation!
“Why? How is this possible?” The old man was dumbfounded.
A guru who broke through by force would definitely have flaws and he couldn’t be more powerful than him.
If that was not the case, it could only mean that the young man who was less than 20 years old broke through to become a guru by himself, not by force.
Thinking of this, the old man was even more astonished.
It was impossible that there was such a person in this world a guru who was less than 20 years old.
Not to mention this era, even in ancient times, when martial arts were popular, it was impossible to cultivate such a person!
He was not a genius.
This man was simply a monster!
If the old man knew that Fang Qiu was only 18 years old and that he had recultivated to stage of the seventh-class Martial Superior with three opened meridians while he was a guru, he would probably be scared to death!
Fang Qiu walked toward the old man.
As far as he was concerned, this old man was not a good person. First of all, the disciple he taught was an evil man. Secondly, the old man wanted to kill him, so he was not a good man, either.
Even if this kind of man lived, he could only bring disaster to Wulin!
Especially for a person whose life was in danger, he wanted to save his life so much. He would use any wicked means to save his life even if there was a faint glimmer of hope.
With his ability, he would cause trouble as long as he was alive.
Therefore, Fang Qiu didn’t intend to let him go.
As the old man was taken aback, he gritted his teeth and stood up in fear.
Facing a real guru, he knew that he couldn’t get the secret of being a guru that he yearned for.
But he also had to fight with all his might!
He couldn’t give up yet!
“Ah!” He raised his head and roared.
It was hard to imagine that his thin body could burst out with such powerful power.
“Hmm?” Fang Qiu stopped.
Looking at the old man who roared at the sky, Fang Qiu suddenly frowned.
He could feel that the old man’s momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and he was approaching the Guru Realm little by little!
“The burst of potential?” Fang Qiu thought to himself.
After exchanging so many moves with the old man, Fang Qiu certainly knew what his limit was. But now, while he was roaring, the old man’s momentum obviously surpassed what he was before.
Fang Qiu didn’t expect it either.
The old man could actually develop his potential before he died!
His strength rose to another level in the suppression. If he needed 100 points to become a guru, he had earned 90 points earlier and now he had 99 points!
He was only 1 point away.
It was also the most crucial point for him to break through and become a guru!
This sudden sense of breakthrough made the old man extremely excited as if the wounds on his body had been completely healed. Also, he even felt that he was as powerful as John Doe.
The secret of being a guru was right in front of him!
“Go to hell!” The old man narrowed his eyes.
He knew that it was the easiest way to grow in a battle. His strength, which he hadn’t broken through in the past few years, was about to break through under the pressure of the Guru Realm when he was in the battle with John Doe. He wanted to continue fighting and get the last point to become a real guru, so he wouldn’t care too much. He swung his fist again and struck Fang Qiu with all his strength.
“What a pity.” Fang Qiu shook his head.
Even if there was only 1 point left, the old man still could not resist a guru.
That final step was also the most crucial part. It was a gift, which people couldn’t gain by hard work!
When the old man was about to attack him, Fang Qiu’s right arm was once again wrapped in the silver light of his internal Qi.
As he threw a punch, the old man was sent flying again.
He failed to resist it completely.
“Poof…” He spat out a mouthful of blood.
The old man’s face instantly turned ashen.
If he still had confidence in the last move just now, his confidence completely disappeared now.
The strength of a guru was not something he could compete with!
He immediately turned around and tried to escape.
He was afraid because he couldn’t do it no matter what he did.
He was only one step away.
As long as he was alive, there was still a chance.
If he died here, everything would be done!
But Fang Qiu didn’t give him a chance to escape.
While the old man was running away, his right fist wrapped with internal Qi directly punched the old man’s back!
One punch went straight through his body.
“Oh…” The old man who had no time to escape felt dizzy. He turned to look at Fang Qiu, and blood gushed out of his mouth like a fountain.
Although he couldn’t say anything, the old man roared in his heart.
“Guru… How could he become a guru at such a young age?” The old man fell down with his eyes wide open.
He would not rest in peace even though he was dead!
